I have to say...that argument is so dumb it really should be on ST. -- nm - Jim Jan 31, 13:28
Look, remember Nazis? They were way worse than anything cats will ever do. QED. -- nm - Guy si Jan 31, 13:27 1
- and kids! don't forget kids. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:28
it's a cat. i don't disagree with him.. (note, my cats are indoor cats.) -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 13:27 20
- I don't necessarily disagree with him either, but I think he misunderstands the point of the article, which was to make cat owners aware of the amount - mara Jan 31, 13:32 7
  - Those aren't *bird* feeders. They are predator admiration stations. -- nm - landbeck Jan 31, 13:34 2
    - buffets -- nm - charlie Jan 31, 13:37
    - Heh, yeah. I used to watch my brother's cat leap straight up to catch birds at their Predation Station. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 13:37
  - Everyone knows what the solution to this problem is, right? Declaw the cats. nm - Jim Jan 31, 13:34 1
    - hee. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:34
  - my friend was laughing that her cats destroyed the entire local chipmunk population in a month. - loosilu Jan 31, 13:34 1
    - revenge is ours! -- nm - The Chipmunk Underground Jan 31, 13:34
- it's an invasive species. at least acknowledge what you're doing. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:28 11
  - well, it is, but it's an invasive species that has been here as long as non-native to north american humans have been. so. -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 13:29 9
    - NZ is a different situation though. It's an isolated ecosystem with no native bird predators. - Roger More Jan 31, 13:40 4
      - see, that makes a huge difference. -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 13:43
      - oh yeah, I think they're justified in banning cats, honestly. the birds have been devastated. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:42 2
        
        I don't know about banning - rats eating bird eggs have probably done more damage. But they should definitely be aware that cats aren't really part - Roger More Jan 31, 13:47 1
        
        if most people could be persuaded to keep the cats inside, it might work. - loosilu Jan 31, 13:52
    - that doesn't make it ok. We stopped whaling and killing walruses because it was bad. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:30 3
      - what do you propose? -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 13:32 2
        
        legally ... nothing. but I do encourage people to keep the cats inside. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:32 1
        
        which andie is already doing, so this whole thread is moo. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 13:34
  - (not YOU. you know what I mean) -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:28
